OH, that's why.....

…. now I understand!

Ready for a shocker, Stampin' Up!'s paper may not always be exactly 8 1/2" x 11".  This picture shows the sliver of cardstock left when cutting both card bases exactly at 5 1/2".  For this very reason, I make sure that each of the card bases (or card layers) are exactly 5 1/2" wide.  The same holds true for the 11" measurement.

Forever Greenery Series

I just love the new Stampin' Up! Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.  The greens are gorgeous.  I will be offering a PDF with pictures and measurements for at least ten cards and it will be available for purchase or free with a $50 Stampin' Up! purchase using my current Hostess Code.  I will post more information in the coming days.

Below are sneak peeks for the first four.

Everything is Rosy Tutorial

I used several different items to create the TWENTY cards.  They would include Melon Mambo, Night of Navy, Pink Pirouette or Regal Rose (any pale pink will work) and Whisper White Thick cardstocks.  I also used several different sentiments which can be easily subsituted with any sentiment stamp you may have in your stash.

I am offering an Adobe PDF file for purchase with the measurements for each card.  This file can be yours FREE with your $50 or more purchase using my Hostess Code found at the top of my blog.
